The parts for the swap aren't too bed, CJ there and I both have complete swap kits for $around $500, unfortunately they are for 318s and 325s (Getrag transmission) so they might not fair so well in the 328, though with my current level of mods I'm probably pushing hard on stock 328 numbers and so far so good, but I also figure BMW had good reason for putting ZF trannys in the 328s. Any way, the point I was trying to make is that parts shouldn't run too far over $700-800 and if you're handy with a wrench you could probably do the swap in a weekend.

hmmm well....maybe if the conversion kit was for the 328....and it came with a writeup =) cause the most ive done is just sound systems on a car. my dad owns a sound shop so i know about that. but engine stuff is unexplored territory.
